That loss definitely burns more with the 1 game a week szn in effect for a bit. Should be top 6-8 heading into this stretch gd’it.
…but I’m not letting 1 game reverse what I’ve seen thus far. Complete turd, but Talk to me after the next few. Definitely think it’s a complete overreaction (today) to think we will suddenly reverse course on our style, and Cal has repeated the same.
We don’t have the players to revert to an Oscar type situation, and The players were trash, including Reed early in start #1, which led to the hole we never recovered from. The entire mojo was just off.
Not an excuse, was a garbage loss, but it’s also not gonna DEFINE my outlook, or what I’ve seen in the other games. We follow the complete 180 style in next few, then yeah, I’ll reconsider. But again, UNCW was much more on the players imo & the typical bonkers performance by a Rupp visitor. Zero defense, selfish offense. Hate everything about it.
To boost my mood, been revisiting favorite clips. 90s cbb is just pinnacle sports. Zona backcourt of Stoudamire (obvs) & Reeves (24ppg!) is one of the most overlooked of my lifetime when talking ‘best’, imo. Went for 31 & 28 in this one…(shout out Geary, too).
Funny bonus is Pitino sporting the #1 worst UK polo ever created btw. Lmao
We all know the finish, but the entire game was bonkers. If nothing else, it’s worth it to start at 1:15, minimum - ideally, the full 2H.
Brassow. Brassowwwwwwwwwwww!
